Translation and Meaning
I need to know what the SLANG word in English for the French term feutre means.
Un Feutre= a felt-tipped pen, ie. a texta colour
As far as I know there is no slang word for felt-tipped pen. You just have to say felt-tipped pen.

Level
How do I know what level I'm on? Is there any sort of placement test?
You can easily find placement tests online and at various Colleges' and Universities' Websites online
(http://www.google.com/search?q=french+placement+test&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL
. Otherwise, the general rule of thumb is one year in a language course is one level.

In French How do I Make a sentence Imperative?
gender
The imperative is used in tu, nous and vous forms; the nous and vous forms are the same as the
indicative in both regular and irregular verbs (except the 3 irregulars shown below). The tu form is
also the same unless it comes from an infinitive that ends in -er, in which case the tu form would drop
the 's' (eg: parles becomes parle).
The infinitive can also be used as the imperative, but only for impersonal commands, eg: mettre la
ceinture.
